mimetic is a free, MIT licensed, Email library (MIME) written in C++ designed to be easy to use and integrate but yet fast and efficient.

I'm a fan of the C++ Standard Library so mimetic has been built around the standard lib. This means that you'll not find yet another string class or list implementation and that you'll feel comfortable in using this library from the very first time.

mimetic doesn't use exceptions but it heavily uses templates so a mostly standard compliant C++ compiler is required. I developed it using GCC 3.x and tested on most Unixes. When it comes to performance the stdlib is important (and GCC's is not the fastest library around) so mimetic code include some classes that are not strictly needed but are there just to improve performance (for ex. the File class for memory mapped file access).

Most classes functionalities and behavior will be clear if you ever studied MIME and its components; if you don't know anything about Internet messages you'll probably want to read some RFCs to understand the topic and, therefore, easily use the library whose names, whenever possible, overlap terms adopted in the standard RFC documents. At the very least: RFC 822, RFC 2045 and RFC 2046. A more complete list can be found at the Earl Wood's MIME page.

Being a programmers I know that a code snippet is better then thousand words , so if you want you can jump to the Code Snippets section.

Latest release is 0.9.8
